10.4: Kill Parallels' DHCP server for network testing
Authored by: ephramz on Nov 09, '06 03:27:33PM
I have a very strange networking problem I think is related to installing Parallels and its networking that only occurs with a login type wireless connection at my school, but never with a wired connection there, or other types of wireless connections, encrypted on unencrypted. What use to work a few weeks ago fine, taking me to the login page at "https://bs5000.lehman.cuny.edu/login.pl?action=paint;source=172.16.8.221;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macosxhints.com%2F%3F;r=OGoe2xc5481"; whenever I typed in any random URL (www.macosxhints.com in this case), now instead appends ":8090/www.lehman.cuny.edu"; to any address so instead I'd go to "www.macosxhints.com:8090/www.lehman.cuny.edu"; in this case. Lehman.cuny.edu is my school's domain.

It still works fine for other people at school, even on Macs. The only thing I can pinpoint I might have changed around the time it stopped working is installing Parallels and a DynDNS transponder, but I've uninstalled both of those, taken all the StartupItems out of my /System/Library and /Library folders, restarted, no change. I don't see any prls or dhcp named process in a ps/Activity Viewer. Any ideas if Parallels might've done something weird to affect this?
